SAFC is in the fourth round for only the second time, the other occasion coming in its inaugural 2016 season when it lost to Houston Dynamo 4-0. The local squad advanced to this stage with Wednesday’s 5-3 win on penalty kicks vs. Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC. The teams played to a 1-1 draw through regulation and overtime.

FC Dallas won the 2016 U.S. Open Cup, which was founded in 1914 and is the oldest national soccer competition in American history.
